Summary
"We've had a 'Honmoon is sealed' contingency plan for years now. Remember, we're doing this because we love you, Rumi," Mira stated.
"We're going to take work away from you for three days while you... adjust," Zoey added.
Rumi's heart started to race.
There were so many bleeding wounds to cauterize. Three days was such a long time.
Sealing the Honmoon should have been the happiest day of Rumi's life -- and it was. Rumi was supposed be happy about it afterwards, too.

Summary
“I just,” Rumi let out a clipped sigh. “I had this idea. That if I’m good enough, we could do something special for the anniversary this year.”
“Isn’t us making it another year special enough on its own?” Zoey sounded like she was about to cry.
Mira refused to look up from her work to check if she was.
“Zo, that isn’t what I meant.” Panic was edging Rumi’s voice. “I’m just tired of spending the entire day numb. I thought that maybe, this year, we could do something that isn’t just surviving.”
“What’s your idea?” Mira hoped that the molten anger in her stomach wasn’t burning her tone. She hated raising her voice or snapping at them – especially Rumi.
She had done enough of that to last several lifetimes.
Rumi adjusted herself in her chair, hissing as if she had forgotten about the needles until she moved. “I’d like to try a hook pull.”

Summary
Rumi’s heart jumped into her throat when she saw the bullet points next to Zoey’s pointed nail.
I, Rumi, (do/do not) give ongoing consent to letting my girls forcefully take care of me. I give ongoing consent to each scenario I initial below and will only be able to end them by saying “Red”. I give ongoing consent for these scenarios to be used as punishment when deemed necessary by Mira or Zoey. This list may be expounded upon in the future after proper negotiation.
- ___ Forcing me to hold still for a massage until I stop crying when someone breathes on my shoulders.
- ___ Forcing me to say five nice things about myself.
“What? I don’t cry when someone breathes on my shoulders,” she snapped, bemused. “Also, I can say ten nice things about myself right now.”
Or, Rumi doesn't realize how hard it is to say nice things about oneself.

Summary
“Don’t touch those, Rumi.”
Celine didn’t look away from the onions she was chopping.
Rumi froze, her hand wrapped around her upper arm. She jerked her hand away like she was about to put her hand down on top of a snake she hadn’t seen. “Why?”
Why’s and how’s drove Rumi’s world. If she understood the function of each gear, she’d know what the machine was supposed to look like when it came together.
“Because,” Celine responded, tone clipped. Her jaw was working, something Rumi had recently discovered to mean that she was angry. “Because it’s wrong. You’re not even supposed to have those.”
Rumi tugged the sleeve of her shirt down further. “Oh.”
A foundational gear of how the world worked was cataloged in her mind.
Don’t touch your patterns, they’re dirty.
Or, Rumi is incredibly repressed because of the shame she feels about her patterns.

Summary
“Rumi,” Zoey’s voice is impossibly soft, “why wouldn’t I tell you that you’re good?”
Rumi shrugs, feeling raw and exposed in the way she always does after kneeling for them.
She considers the question: she just wasn’t brought up that way. There was never any need for praise or affirmation as a form of encouragement. Not when there were other forms so readily available – imminent choking forms, creeping steadily across her body.
A soft Rumi character study featuring cows, colours and collars.

Summary
It’s autumn when she sees them again.
It’s impossible, but she does.
Her patterns know it before she does.
(They’re glowing. She’s glowing, a faint, pulsing gold).
(They haven’t glowed in almost a century).
OR
Demons, even half, are immortal. Humans, less so.

Summary
She wished she could be sitting with the girls, eating dinner, laughing and crying about what a mess this day had become.
She wished she could apologize for not being fast enough, press her forehead to the cracked wooden floor and plead for them to forgive her.
The starved animal at her core whined and thrashed.
She wished she could be normal.
